BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Yep, you've 'lost it' John, like most moto riders!

This still works BUT not for much longer.

(Yes there is a typo on 'classi' ( not classiC)but it is on purpose.
Google is doing away with classic for ever.
You have Lite but some features are missing...

What the **** are they playing at??? I can see there are going to be a shit storm coming up. Sorry about the language. I just hate the new system. Too many boxes cluttering up the screen. The nav system from point A to B. Still cant work that out. If I want a ground picture, I'll drop the little man on to the map. A dam good system being changed for the sake of change. Give us a choice. If it's as good as you think. People will use it. If they stay on the old system, it's kind of telling you something.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
